The Arkansas River Valley Audubon Society will have its annual Holiday Pot Luck on Petit Jean Mountain. Anyone and everyone is invited to bring a dish and enjoy the fellowship of fellow nature lovers on Monday, Nov. 26 at 7 p.m. at the Lutheran Camp on Petit Jean.

The Lutheran Camp is easy to find. If you have been to Petit Jean Mountain Audubon meetings before, pass the entrance to WRI and go about a half block and you will see an A frame sign on your left for Lutheran Camp. Turn in and follow the road and stay left and you will come to the dinning hall. Signs posted for you.

If you have never been to WRI, come up the mountain and keep right and follow the road ’til you see the WRI sign (and pass it). Call Coe Wilson at (501) 727-5559 for information.
